Billy Corgan is the Reason Courtney Love Married Kurt Cobain and changed music history

Sounds crazy but Courtney Love was dating her bandmate from Hole Eric but soon they broke up and stayed platonic. During that time in the early 90's Nirvana was getting to be huge but she was dating Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. There was a show in Chicago where Corgan lived and Nirvana was playing and Courtney persuaded two music industry veterants one a Japanese man named Kaz to give her $1,000 each so she could make the trip to see Nirvana. What really happened was that she came to spy on Billy Corgan who had another girl at his home and kicked Courtney out.

What happened next is she ended up at the show and ended up on Kurts lap after the show and they were nearly inseperable ever since. This one night changed music history forever possibly... Had that girl not been at Corgans house would Courtney and Kurt ever fall in love? Would Kurt's addiction to Heroin and death be delayed? So many questions and what if's..

Kurt Cobain's House Address 171 Lake Washington Blvd E Seattle, Washington 98122 USA for your Grunge in Seattle Washington Tour

 For the Grunge enthusiats that want to visit the home of the late Kurt Cobain where he passed away in 1994. As it felt like just yesterday some who have never been to Seattle would like to see the places that Kurt went to. One home that you can drive up to the gate while respecting the current owners privacy is the home he last lived in at:

171 Lake Washington Blvd E
Seattle, Washington
98122 USA

In addition if you want to take a road trip down to the small town of Aberdeen, Washington you can visit his grave, the memorial for where he lived as a homeless person under the bridge and get a vibe about the town that he grew up in. I went to the town recently and felt it. If you're a die hard grunge or Nirvana fan than I recommend you to visit as well.
